Slow puncture

Aug 14, 2004 4 Replies

I have a slow puncture on my two front tyres. Every 2/3 weeks they go inflated (31) to around 21 and I want to know where I can go to get them repaired.



Never done this before so not sure if it can be repaired or if they just need putting on again. Either way how much would this cost? I'm told Kwik Fit do free repairs but not entirely sure.



What should I do to get the tyres sorted out?



Thanks


take it to kwik fit, be about £15 or so for a repair. Assuming they can do it, depends where it is etc etc...

It depends on why they're losing pressure. It could be a puncture, faulty valve, or a problem between the wheel and tyre. The last often happens on older alloy wheels and can be impossible to fix there and then - it requires the rim to be properly cleaned and re-painted.

I've found Kwik-Fit ok, and don't normally charge if they don't find an actual puncture. But this will depend on the individual branch and fitter to some extent.

Hello,

Kwik Fit charged £5 for a repair but that was in his pocket and no receipt.

Go to kwik fit but it won't be free.
